MOBI M. John Harrison ✓ In Viriconium PDF/EPUB ↠ ✓ viriconium book, In Viriconium PDF/EPUBM John Harrison's prose is filled with a rich idiosyncratic music and the structure of his Viriconium novels is musical too If The Pastel City is a late symphony by Beethoven a classical conventionally constructed work filled with individualistic energy straining to break its bonds and if A Storm of Wings is a symphony by Mahler brooding beauties from an immense modern orchestra fragmented in its structure held together by unexpected key changes and passages of dark humor then In Viriconium must be a piece of chamber music at first deceptively simple then darkening like a string uintet by Schubert something he wrote after the spirochetes and a cosmic melancholy had come to call it soon begins to teem with modernis

MOBI M. John Harrison ✓ In Viriconium PDF/EPUB ↠ ✓ viriconium book, In Viriconium PDF/EPUBThis is definitely an interesting turn in the loose trilogy It's so distant and distinct from the other two that it's hard to compare it to them I enjoyed it but I think my expectations colored my reading Storm of Wings was so unbelievably amazing that I was hoping for another book like that This is much subdued about living in the Pastel City while the others are epics about defending or curing it There's a plague but it never seems very ominous regardless how widespread it isAnd the whole story is sort of shadowed by the previous two novels There are echoes of them in here which is very interesting and of course it sort of subverts thos
MOBI M. John Harrison ✓ In Viriconium PDF/EPUB ↠ ✓ viriconium book, In Viriconium PDF/EPUBI read this in one go with Viriconium Nights and basically I can copy paste the review from that book here verbatimWhat I said about A Storm of Wings 'I wanted to like it than I did' also goes for this book but I did like it betterThere was focus on the actual city which has a weird vibe which I did like The sometimes meandering or even lagging plot of the stories was a bit off putting sometimes this certainly was no page turnerAs an influence on writers as Jeff Vandermeer and KJ Bishop the importance can not be overstated but I'd recommend this mostly to people wanting to dive into the roots of the New Weird genre
